Marc Forster’s World War Z “still far from realization”

June 16, 2009 - By Liam Goodwin

After Marc Forster finished work on Quantum of Solace he revealed that his next project would be World War Z, a film which takes place ten years after a human victory over a world wide Zombie epidemic (you can see some concept art above). Well Dark Horizons got some quotes from the director who said that we will have to wait a little bit longer before we see it on the big screen.

Forster says the film’s script still needs a lot of development and is “still far from realization”. As a result he’s likely moving forward with another project entitled “Disconnect” which is ‘ready to go’.

“Disconnect” is said to be about how humans deal with new technologies and the changes it causes to interpersonal relationships.

“World War Z”, based on the novel by Max Brooks, is a series of interviews conducted with various people about the events that transpired when a zombie pandemic swept the globe.

I’m sure everyone would rather see a world wide Zombie epidemic rather than stuff about technology relationships, but I suppose that’s how things go. I’m still waiting for his take on historical epic Nerfititi with Halle Berry which has been in development hell for years.
